Central Banks Bubble Machine vs. Mises & OODA Economics

Send us Fan Mail

Bubbles don’t start with hype.
They start with money that was never earned through prior production.

Frank Shostak walks us through the entire chain: how warehouse receipts became fiat, how suspension of redemption became “monetary policy,” how lowering interest rates without prior savings fakes a signal that society has become more future-oriented, and how that fake signal lengthens the structure of production until the subsistence fund is eaten and the whole thing collapses under its own weight.

Most analysts cheer when earnings beat.
Austrians ask one question: is this activity sustainable without continued money-printing?
If the answer is no, it’s a bubble — no matter how efficient the company looks.

This episode is the cleanest explanation you will hear in 2025 of why the current tech/AI boom is not “different” — it is the latest iteration of the same central-bank playbook that gave us tulips, dot-com, and housing.
